About

TripStop is a pre-formed expansion joint installed during the concrete pour of footpaths, cycleways, and public walkways. It manages the differential movement caused by tree-root invasion and soil settlement — the two forces that turn a flat slab into a trip hazard, and a trip hazard into a council liability claim.

The system installs into the pour by the regular concrete crew with a short installer briefing. No specialist trade required. Once set, the joint absorbs movement at the joint line rather than letting one side of the slab lift, keeping the surface flat for the design life of the path.

TripStop is already specified across multiple Australian council networks and is rated for both pedestrian and cycleway use, including transitions at smooth-surface speeds.
